T all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED S. MORTON, a. citizen of the United. States, residing at Worcester, in the county of fWorcester and State of liiassachusetts, have invented a new and useful Roller, of which the following is a specification. v

This invention relates to rollers emi perticuieriy to a roller adapted for use on bail benringroller skates. v This IDYQDGIOH is des gned as an improve ment on the type of roller shown in Letters-Patent No. 1,021,362, granted March 26,

- tisliy of three parts, stread portion 10 hsving integral' therewith a side member 11, a hall cup 12 and a second side member 13. The usual hails are indicated at it and the roller is shown as mounted upon a grooved shaft 15, the bells and the shai't having no novel. features and constituting no'psrt of my invention. 1

The bail cup bearing surface 16 and a side iisnge 17, these .psrts constituting two sides of the ball race. The bell cup has also a periphcrei projection 18 which serves to position the cup within the side member 11 end to prevent its displacement therefrom in one direction.

The side member 13 may have a circumferential inturned flange 19 end is secured. within the treaci 10 by frictionei contact. The edge ofthe treat; 10 may, if'riesireci, be headed over on the inside es indicated in the drawing to form an additions securing means for the side member 13. This side member is extendec'i invveroilynecrly to the shaft 15 and serves two purposes,-iirst, to prevent movement of the bail cup 12 tovvarci the left (as viewed in the drawing), and. second, to constitute the third side of the bell race.

It wiilthus be seen that I have provided ROLLER.

' specification of Letters 'Eetent. Application filed fictober 2 2, 391%. Serial 550. 888,114.

12 has a circumferentiei Hey a skate roller involving in its construction only three parts and that each of these parts is. simpie in form end msy he readily meets from pressed sheet metal. The economy in manufacture resulting from this simpie con struction is apparent. I While I have (iescriheii my invention .153 applicable to s skste rolier, its construction so is such that it is equally Weii adoptesi for other purposes and such use is conternpiateci in this application.

it will be obvious that many changes, and modifications can be macie in my invention 65. as herein disclosed Without departing from the spirit and. scope thereof anti 1 fie not wish to be limited tothe specific details herein shown, but

What I do claim is V "1. A rolier comprising treeci, 2. side member securedethereto, e heii cupsecureti in said side member and forming two sieies of a. hail race, and a second side member mounted in the tread and forming" the thirii 5 siiie of the bail race.

2. A roiier coniprising two side members,- a tread, and. a. bell cup, seici cup having e circumferential bearing surface and one suie flange and being secured Within one of the es side members, endi the other side member extending inwardiy and forming a second side flange which completes the bell race.

3. A roiier comprising two side meinhers, a. tread, and cbeii cup, s'eici cup being se-- cured in one side member, ssici tread heing integral with the same member, and the other side'rnember being'secureri 'within the tread, the inner portionof ssici seconci, sicie member being effective to close one si ie oi 96 the beli cup and to retain the bells therein.

LA. roller having it unitary trec snci side member, a hail cup mounted in said member and having is peripheral @rcjection which prevents movement of the cup reietive to the member in one direction, snci ssecond side member secured Within the trees; and efiective to prevent movement of the cup in the opposite direction.

A roller hcvinge unitary treedeisi 18 sicie member, a. hell cup meunieiiin ssii member and having a. peripheral projection "which prevents -rncvementof the cup reistive to the member-in one ciirecticm en's e member, a ball cup mounted in said side member, and a second side member retain- 111g said cup 1n posrtlon 1n the first named side member and constituting a, closure for 10 one side of the ball cup.
